HSE Family Day 2009....

This year our HSE Family Day was held at Eastwood Golf & Country Club. Venue was great and shaded. Thank god for that. Anyway some pics to share of the event. Enjoy...

Nikon zoom Lens comparison...

I did a small comparison between two iconic Nikon zoom lenses. The 70-200vr f2.8 and the older 80-200 AF-S f2.8. The comparison gave me mixed feelings about the two lenses. The newer 70-200vr's bokeh (out of focus area) is much more pleasing and smoother while the older 80-200 AF-S seems rougher. I'm a sucker for bokeh! But the 80-200 AF-S seems to perform much better on an FX camera like the D700 or D3.


On the 80-200 AF-S vignetting is less at f2.8 while it's younger brother the 70-200vr is quite noticeable at 70mm wide open at f2.8. 70-200vr performs much better on a cropped sensor.Nonetheless both lenses are very good in capable hands. I just take crappy pics. After going through my hardrive I managed to find some pics for comparison below. You be the judge!

Fisheye on Miri...

Tried taking some shots of Miri town with my fisheye lens. I must admit it's damn fun to use! I purposely over saturated and over sharpened the pictures for impact. Otherwise it will be just plain and boring. Anyway enjoy. I know I did!
